Inkjet ink sets for high speed printing on plain papers and glossy media

A method of printing with an inkjet printer, the method includes moving the carriage along a first carriage scan direction while the second drop ejector array ejects drops of anti-curl solution onto the portion of recording medium providing a delay time that is greater than 15 milliseconds after the second drop ejector ejects drops of anti-curl solution at a given location on the portion of recording medium and before printing with the first drop ejector array moving the carriage along a second carriage scan direction while the first drop ejector array ejects drops of ink in an image-wise fashion onto the given location of the portion of recording medium.

Method of printing with anti-curl solution

An aqueous inkjet ink suitable for priming photo-images on both photo-glossy receivers and plain papers, said ink including at least 50% by weight water, between 0.5% and 8% by weight of 1,2-pentanediol, a humectant distinct from said 1,2-pentanediol, and between 0.2 and 5% by weight of a dispersed pigment colorant, said dispersed pigment colorant exhibiting an average volume weighted 50th percentile particle size of between 0.001 and 0.075 microns.

Inkjet inks for printing on both plain and photo-glossy papers

An aqueous inkjet ink is described including water, a charge stabilized anti-abrasion polymer provided as a hydrophobic colloidal sol, a water-soluble humectant and a polyethyleneglycol-diether compound of Formula I as an anti-abrasion aid:R&#x2014;(OCHCH)O&#x2014;R&#x2003;&#x2003;(I)where Rand Rcan be the same or different and are individually alkyl with 1 to 4 carbons, or phenyl, and n is between 2 and 45. Also described is a related aqueous inkjet ink-set and an image forming method having the step of imagewise applying by jetting to a receiver, one or more aqueous inks, as above described.

Inkjet inks having anti-abrasion polymers and anti-abrasion aids

This invention relates to method of printing an ink jet image using an ink jet ink set comprising a colored aqueous ink and a substantially colorless aqueous ink, wherein the colored ink comprises a cationic coloring agent and the colorless ink comprises an anionic polymer or oligomer.

Printing ink jet image with ink of cationic colorant and colorless ink of anionic polymer

This invention is related to an inkjet ink comprising water, a first self-dispersing pigment, and a second self-dispersing pigment, wherein said first self-dispersing pigment comprises a charged group bonded directly to the surface thereof, and said second self-dispersing pigment comprises a charged group bonded through a linking group to the surface thereof.

Aqueous inkjet ink composition

This invention relates to an ink jet ink set comprising a colored aqueous ink and a substantially colorless aqueous ink, wherein the colored ink comprises a cationic coloring agent and the colorless ink comprises an anionic polymer or oligomer.

Aqueous ink of colored ink and colorless ink containing anionic polymer

This invention relates to an ink jet ink comprising water, a charged self-dispersed pigment characterized in having a charge equivalence of at least 0.5 mEq/g, a volatile counterion content of 0.01 to 0.5 percent by weight, and a surface-active paper penetrant.

Pigment inks having excellent image and storage properties

An ink composition for inkjet recording comprising water and a compound represented by the following Structure: wherein at least one of Z, Z, Z, and Zare not hydrogen; each of R, Rand Rare independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and methyl, Ris &#x2014;H, &#x2014;CH, &#x2014;CH, or &#x2014;CH, or &#x2014;CHO(CHCHRO)Z, wherein each Ris independently hydrogen or methyl; b is 0 or 1; x, x, x, and xare each equal to at least 1, the sum of x, x, xis 3 to 45 when Ris not &#x2014;CHO(CHCHRO)Z, and the sum x, x, x, and xis from 3 to 60 when Ris &#x2014;CHO(CHCHRO)Z. Such compounds have been found to provide improved curl control.

Glycerol derivatives for inkjet inks

The invention provides an image sensor that has an array of photosensors and an array of micro-lenses with each micro-lens confronting more than one of the photosensors and concentrating light striking each micro-lens onto less than all of the confronted photosensors so that selected photosensors receive a greater exposure than other photosensors.

Imaging system having extended useful latitude

Cartridge and camera systems are provided that have a cartridge with a photosensitive element having an exposure surface and a housing having a storage area for storing the photosensitive element and an opening adapted to permit transport of the photosensitive element from a storage position within a housing to exposure position outside of the housing. A micro-lens array is joined the housing and positioned to confront the exposure surface when the photosensitive element is in the exposure position.

Photographic film cartridge or cassette systems with microlens

The present invention resides in a method and apparatii for using a photosensitive element that is photosensitive to light within a predetermined range of exposures to capture images including exposures that are outside of the predetermined exposure range. In this method the photosensitive element is exposed to light from the scene. The light from the scene is fractured into concentrated portions and residual portions; with the concentrated portions directed at concentrated images areas of the photosensitive element to form a pattern of concentrated image elements providing a concentrated image when light from the scene is within a first exposure range. The residual portions of the light are directed at a residual image area of the photosensitive element and form an image in the residual image area when light from the scene is within a second exposure range. Wherein the combination of the first range and second range is greater than a predetermined range of exposure.

Imaging using silver halide films with micro-lens capture, scanning and digital reconstruction

A system and method of offering photofinishing services involves receiving an exposed photographic film from a customer; developing and scanning the film to produce a digital image; displaying examples of a plurality of looks on a color display medium to a customer; receiving a selection of a preferred look from the customer; and applying the selected look to the digital image to produce a processed digital image having the preferred look.

Plurality of picture appearance choices from a color photographic recording material intended for scanning

Cameras and methods are provided for recording more than one image on a photosensitive element. The cameras and methods record the images in the form of separate patterns of concentrated image elements. Apparatuses and methods are provided for recovering images from the concentrated image elements.
